Chapter 69

The grass house is dark, the grass house is quiet, there seems to be no one in the grass house, but there is clearly a living person kneeling, not only that, but also facing the sky on his back, spreading out his limbs and lying a turtle, this situation is strange, this scene is strange, but the person who came in was very calm, walked to the bed lightly, first looked at the kneeling Ji Tian, and then looked at the sleeping turtle.

No one moved, kneeling on the bed Ji Tian did not move, the sleeping little turtle did not move, there was no one in the house, came, then why not move, maybe I didn't see it, maybe there was no sound, in short, the person who came in, Zhao Youfan, didn't dare to disturb the teacher, he just wanted to learn the teacher's appearance, kneeling on the bed, looking up and seeing the teacher facing the wall, posted a painting, on which an old man, not tall, kind eyebrows, naΓ―ve, wearing blue linen, sitting on the bed, there is a pillar of high incense burning on the side, Who's this? is so familiar, could it be Fu Gong, it seems that the teacher has long known that Fu Gong has passed away, otherwise, why would he worship the portrait of Fu Gong?

Zhao Youfan was conjecturing, looking at it, he looked at it, he couldn't help kneeling on the bed, a strange fragrance gradually spread into his nostrils, Zhao Youfan's eyes were heavy, not good, he was kneeling down to worship Fu Gong, he couldn't close his eyes, he couldn't sleep.

Zhao Youfan ordered himself and forced himself not to sleep, but his eyes were blurred, and the little turtle crawled from the bed to the bottom of the painting, stretched out his long neck, shook his head, and after a while, Zhao Youfan saw another scene in front of him, and he saw a leper head asking for rice Huazi, with a bowl of fish and a bowl of meat in front of him, and he was feasting, Zhao Youfan took a closer look, the one who asked for rice seemed to be Wu Huazi who asked for food in the street, but he was a little uncertain, he was looking at it in surprise, But when he saw that Fu Gong was living on crutches, he walked up to the flower who asked for food, and asked; "Three lepers, I see you eating big fish and meat every day, and your mouth is full of oil, but I don't even have food to eat, why is this?"

was picking the fish bones called Hanako, heard the question of Fu Gong, hehe smiled, and said; "Don't look at you as the lord of the land within a radius of a hundred miles, but people don't know you, think about it, since they don't know you, can you still expect the people here to worship you!"

Fu Gong was very puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help asking; "Why is that?"

After listening to Fu Gong's question, he called Hanako Hehe, and then looked at Fu Gong and said; "You are really an honest man, can't you even see this, isn't this obvious, haven't you just been named the lord of the land, the people in this radius of a hundred miles still don't know, so, naturally, I don't know you, of course people don't know the benefits of worshiping you, I, I'm different from you, just when you were named the god of the land, I found the great monk of Jiangliu, and said to him, I want to back then, after the robber who robbed you was poisoned by your little green snake, you went to my inn overnight, I didn't want the county officials to arrest you, I sent them away with two five-baht coins, otherwise, you will be caught, you will be killed, I saved your life with money, I didn't ask you for benefits at that time, and now I came to you, you say, how to repay me? ”

Monk Jiangliu looked at me and continued; 'Of course I have to repay it, of course I have to repay it, I am a Buddha with compassion, I have received the grace of a drop of water, and when the spring reciprocates, say, what do you want? ’

I said, I'm not a greedy person, I just don't want to be a shopkeeper in the next life, I've had enough of the days when people are angry and angry, I want to be free, I can have fish to eat every day, and meat to eat every day.

Monk Jiangliu listened to my words and immediately said; "What's so difficult about this, I have a hoop here, you take it, you just put this hoop on someone else's head, he will have a headache, so he will give you something to eat, what fish, meat wow, even if you ask him, he has nothing to disagree."

Speaking of this, the leper looked at Fu Gong and said; "However, the fish and meat in my bowl are offered to me by others, and I will not give them to you, for the sake of you and I in the world, you always take care of me, I can lend you this hoop of mine, as long as you put this hoop on the head of a rich man, he will have a headache, and he will give you fish and meat to eat."

Fu Gong borrowed the hoops of the three lepers and was about to leave, but the three lepers stopped him, leaned into his ear and whispered to him that he wanted to hoop those who rode horses and sat in sedan chairs.

On the first day, he saw that the road was full of ordinary people who came and went in a hurry to beg for a living, so he did not take out the hoop to set people, he starved for a day, and the next day he walked on the street, and still did not see a person riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair, so he said to himself; "It's okay to be hungry all day, it's okay to be hungry."

On the third day, seeing that in the evening, Fu Gong walked to the head of a bridge, and saw a man on horseback coming towards him from a distance, and Fu Gong was overjoyed, and hurriedly put the hoop on the horse's head, and the horse was immediately in terrible pain, and immediately raised his front hooves, sighed, and then kicked away with all four hooves, and galloped forward.

The Duke of Fu stepped away from his short legs, and pursued him desperately, but helplessly, he ran past the galloping horses, and the Duke of Fu was so tired that he did not catch the horse, and of course he ate nothing, so the Duke of the Land had to find the head of the leprosy, and took off the hoop, and gave it back to him, and said to him; "I put the hoop on the horse's head, and the horse ran away, and I didn't eat anything."

When the leper heard this, he laughed, and he said to the Duke of Fu, "Don't tie those who can run, but those who stand there and don't go." ”

The next day, the Duke of Fu came to the field with a cane, and he saw the farmer standing in the rice field without moving, and the man was overjoyed when he saw this, and said in his mouth, isn't this the person who stood there and did not leave, so he strode forward, put the hoop on the head of the scarecrow, and then came to the edge of the ridge, and squatted there and waited for someone to bring him food, and waited for three days in a row. No one brought him anything to eat, let alone fish and meat.

Fu Gong was very helpless, so he had to find the leper head and tell the truth, the leper head listened to Fu Gong's narration, pointed to his forehead and said; "You, you're too honest, you are still a big official, haven't you also sat in a sedan chair, isn't the person sitting in the sedan chair just standing there waiting for someone to carry away, what's the use of you putting a scarecrow on it, forget it, this time I will tell you clearly, you have to hoop the person who walks slowly, so that you can have fish and meat to eat."

This time, Fu Gong School was smart, and he asked the leper head: "Why do you want to hoop people who walk slowly?" ”

The leper head replied; "You're really interesting, you've forgotten what you've done before, and when you were an official, weren't you pacing back and forth with steady steps?"

After hearing this, Fu Gong felt that it made sense, and happily left the leprosy head, and went to the street to look for a slow walker, and he didn't see a slow person walking after walking several streets in a row, Fu Gong was disappointed, and saw a person walking in a steady square step from a distance, this time Fu Gong saw it, he suddenly tied the man's head, and didn't take a few steps, the man touched his head and shouted; "It hurts me!"

Then he fell to the ground, and when he came near, he saw that the man was a man who asked for food, and he could not help thinking that he had nothing to eat, so how could he give me fish and meat, so he took off the hoop from the head of the man who asked for food, and found the head of the leprosy, and gave him back the hoop, and said to him; "I have no chance to consume fish and meat, I accept my fate."

Zhao Youfan saw this, his body was excited, he opened his eyes to take a closer look, but saw that the incense in front of the portrait had been burned out, Zhao Youfan was reminiscing about the scene just now, but saw the little turtle on the bed stretched out its long neck, shook it a few times, and then a voice sounded; "Ji Tian, if you don't wake up yet, do you want to let Fu Gong continue to starve."

After the voice, Ji Tian turned around and looked at Zhao Youfan, Zhao Youfan saw that the teacher was looking at him, and hurriedly asked; "Teacher, what do you command?"

Ji Tian asked; "Did you see that scene just now?"

Zhao Youfan replied; "See."

Ji Tian asked; "Can you bear to watch Duke Fu starve?"

Zhao Youfan replied; "I can't bear it."

Ji Tian asked; "Do you want to help him?"

Zhao Youfan just wanted to say, it was a matter of the fairy world, how could I help, but before he could say anything, the voice just now sounded again; "It's a loss for Ji Tian to find you, so that you get a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, if you feel embarrassed, simply, Ji Tian will find someone else."

Hearing these words, Zhao Youfan was shocked into a cold sweat, and he immediately said; "The disciple is willing to help Fu Gong, please show the teacher."

Ji Tian listened to Zhao Youfan's confession and said slowly; "It's less than an hour before dawn, you and I will go separately, you go to the west of the county, I will go to the east of the county, we take pens and cinnabar, pick the lintel of those big families and write six big characters on the Fuzheng God Throne. Remember, you can't write anymore when you hear a rooster crow. ”

After saying this, Ji Tian picked up the pen and cinnabar, went out of the house and went straight to the east of the county, Zhao Youfan learned from Ji Tian's appearance, and walked out of the house towards the west of the county.

Ji Tian started from the east of the county, picked out the lintels of those gatehouses, and neatly wrote ""Fu Zhengshen Divine Position" six bright big characters in block letters, and when he wrote to the eighth household, oh, oh, the golden rooster reported the dawn, Ji Tian collected the pen and returned, he walked into the thatched house with his front foot, and Zhao Youfan walked in with his back foot, and Zhao Youfan asked Ji Tian when he entered the house; "Teacher, how many households have you written?"

Ji Tian waved his hand and shook his head; "Heaven must not be divulged."

Zhao Youfan stopped talking, but Ji Tian said to himself; "On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and coincidentally, it was also the birthday of the land lord."

Zhao Youfan cautiously took it and asked; "On the second day of February, how are we going to celebrate the birthday of the land lord?"

Without waiting for Ji Tian to answer, an honest voice came; "Fool, when the time comes, you can fry poached eggs and give them to the land to eat."

Where did this honest voice come from, Zhao Youfan couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't ask, he felt that the teacher's thatched house was very unusual, and it was better to ask less about everything, so after the honest voice landed, Zhao Youfan just looked at Ji Tian, as if asking him what to do next.

Ji Tian saw Zhao Youfan's thoughts, so he said to him; "Youfan, this time is by no means so simple, we still have a lot of things to do, such as building a temple for the good man, praying for his old man to bless us with a bumper harvest of grains, prosperity of the six animals, and the safety of the family, these things must be done one by one, but I am filial piety, so there are many things that I have to ask you to do."
